At the end of all three seasons of Capital City’s track and field program’s existence, the Cavaliers and Lady Cavaliers have come home from the Class 5 state track and field championships with a school first.
The first girls individual champion was in the first year of the program, the first boys individual champion came last year. This year, they brought home the school’s first team state trophy.
For the second consecutive year, when the Class 5 boys 800-meter run was done, Keion Grieve was standing atop the podium. The Capital City Cavalier claimed his second state championship in the 800 Friday when he ran a time of 1:53.64 at Adkins Stadium in the Class 5 track and field state championships.
Helias coach Davis Harris had a question after Monday night’s volleyball match against the Capital City Lady Cavaliers. “Well, we beat a district opponent and a conference opponent. Does that count as two wins?” Harris jokingly said after the Lady Crusaders won in a 25-18, 25-11, 25-22 sweep at Helias Gym.
The Capital City Lady Cavaliers came up just short of the program’s first season-opening win Monday, losing in five sets 23-25, 25-15, 19-25, 25-10, 12-15 to the School of the Osage Lady Indians.
